The 2012 Trailer Is Ridiculous

Did you know that the guy who made Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow is making a movie based on all those Mayan 2012 myths? You can go watch it in HD here. For those who didn’t read the title of my post, I’ll sum it up for you: fucking ridiculous. I mean gloriously absurd. Here are a couple of things that happen in the trailer in case you decide you have better things to do:

St.Peter’s Basilica rolls over and crushes lots of people

An aircraft carrier smashes the White House riding on a tidal wave

California literally sinks into the sea

A giraffe is airlifted… somewhere

The Battlestar Galactica is used as a submarine

An aircraft carrier smashes the White House riding on a tidal wave

What’s kind of distressing is how many people really fall hook, line, and sinker for these Mayan 2012 rumors. Yes, for civilizations of the time, they were pretty advanced, but they also ripped peoples hearts out in sacrifice to their gods.Why exactly are they also the experts on when time ends?

I also notice also that Hollywood choose a black man as President again. Now, for obvious reason this shouldn’t be such a big deal, but I do remember a running joke on the Colbert report about how pretty much every movie or television show with a black man as President terrible things happen. Deep Impact, 24, Idiocracy. I’m starting to wonder what Hollywood’s problem is; why do black Presidents get armageddon and white Presidents get to kick terrorists out of Air Force One or defeat aliens in fighter jets? Clearly, the next step in civil rights is to elect a black man in a movie where everything doesn’t go to shit.
